Klinker Brick Old Ghost 2018

The Old Ghost represents the finest Old Vine Zinfandel Klinker Brick produces each year. The name was derived from the Delta Tule Fog which comes up from the ground in the winter time in Lodi, which keeps the vineyards moist and cool, and also provides a ghostly apprearance in the vineyard. The 103yo Burney Mettler Vineyard is planted on its own rootstock, head trained and dry farmed originally but today drip irrigation is used only in times of extreme heat or drought conditions.
